After finding out I was carrying a girl, I rushed to the store to pick out Bethany's fabric. The bird cage fabric immediately was in my hands! Anna-Kate was there helping me, and the peacock fabric was in her hands immediately! The rest came together after that. I am in love with the colors! I struggled to get on the floor and do the trimming that is required after it is quilted, before the final stage of binding. So, I finished all but the binding while pregnant. Then I finished her quilt when she was 4 or 5 months.
I finally took pictures when she was about 8 months old.
The big kids wanted their picture taken too, and this quickly became a favorite!
With the quilt fabrics picked out, we chose a pink crib sheet. Then, a friend from church was selling that picture. It matches the colors perfectly! It has the pinks, the blues, even the golds! I jumped immediately to buy it from her! Because this is going to be her room (we will turn the crib into a bed when she is ready for a "big girl bed"), I have given myself freedom to slowly put her room together.
This weekend, as a first birthday present, we picked out this night stand. I am in love with it's feminine lines and that it adds some more color to the room. The crib as a bed will definitely be a bulky piece of furniture, so I think the color will also be a good contrast.
Bethie, your room may be taking a long time to finish, but it has been a favorite to piece together!
